Hi! My name is Helena.

I’m a web designer, and what I love most about my job is helping business owners solve problems they deemed impossible.

By getting to know your story, goals, and what makes your business special, I’ll use my skills and experience to bring your vision to life.

When crafting websites, I consider the full experience. I create experiences that guide visitors naturally towards actions that spark connections and turn into leads.

Unique websites crafted  just for you. 

I believe in taking the time to understand your work, values, and customers. Your website should be crafted to reflect the personality of your business and brand.

Stand out from your competitors with a unique, customized web experience designed around you and your goals.

My Process

I strive to provide an easy and transparent experience for my clients. Here's what you can expect when we work together.

  • First things first

    We'll hop on a call or meet if you're local so you can tell me about your project and we can get to know each other! I'll put together a proposal and the onboarding packet.

  • Onboarding

    I'll send over one onboarding packet including the proposal, contract, invoice, and questionnaires. The questionnaires help me gather the information I need to get going.

  • Project Kickoff

    I will use the information provided by you as well as industry and competitor research to structure our plan. We'll kickoff the project with a strategy phone call to make sure we're on the same page. Then we're off!

  • The fun part!

    With wireframes, user flows, and site architecture ready to go, I can get to the good stuff. I'll be heads down designing the look and feel. All of the layout, color, and user experience decisions I make are intentional and purposeful.

  • I need your input!

    Once the designs are completed, we will work on feedback and revisions. I include 2 major revisions, after that additional changes are charged an hourly rate.

  • The real deal

    Once the designs are approved, I'll build out your site in Wix. I'll do testing and make sure the site is fully responsive at all breakpoints.

  • We're done!

    Everything is built and ready to go live! We will work together to launch the site and I will provide handoff support. We can talk about maintenance options as well!

About me

IMG_1712.JPG

I’ve worked in all kinds of settings, from a Fortune 500 company to a small, local SaaS

company, to comedy agencies, signage companies, and grassroots advocacy organizations, among others!

I got my B.A. in Digital Narrative and Interactive Design in 2022, and have been in the UX design industry since. Unlike a lot of web designers, I don’t just focus on making things look nice. I have training in understanding how people think, navigate, and make decisions online. Every site I build is deeply ground in user experience principles.

My favorite creativity outlet is through my music. I play in a band, The Wild Honeys, and we tour all over the Greater Pittsburgh area. I also love to release some energy by hiking, weightlifting, and spending time with my friends and family.

Do you want to build an experience that will turn site visitors into clients?

I can build you a website that you are proud to share with potential clients. Let’s set up a casual chat to discuss your goals, needs, and see if we are a good fit!

Please note I’m currently booking work for Q4 2026 and Q1 2027.
